We are just getting settled into our new home at the orphanage. We spent the first few nights in Durban at a hostel and took a bus a few hours to the orphange on Friday. First of all the kids are awesome! There are 24 kids total. Most of the kids are older and are in grade school or high school. There are also 3 "moms" that are each in charge of several kids. We have been playing a lot of marbles and soccer and some other fun games that they have taught us using sticks and rocks and whatever else is around. The cottages are bordered on one side by a good size river. Right now it is too low to swim, but the rains with come in the summer and thats when they swim. Today was the kids first day at school. We walked them to school (about 2 miles one way) and now we are spending some time in Estcort where we will pick up supplies for the week.
I will post some pictures soon, but it looks like we will only have access to a computer once a week.
